    You’re not giving this traitor enough credit. He and his are NOT DUMB they completely understand what they’re doing to the US. This, treating him and his allies like they’re ignorant is only helping them…

    They are winning… We cannot allow this to continue.

      True. Though they’re idiots if they think that crashing the economy will create a “dip” that they can buy back in with.

      This isn’t a March 2020 market crash caused by some mysterious impersonal virus.

      This is him intentionally killing trade agreements that are practically unrecoverable, and the market reacting to that. The market will not bounce back. Our market was largely based on trade. That period is over now. No trade will be happening, not anywhere near the amounts previous.

      The market can’t recover from a policy shift towards chaotic fascism. Because our foreign allies have long memories and China’s been waiting for a moment just like this to take over from the US as the world superpower.
